The news gained some attention from
certifiable
misguided Patriots backers that gave Cole grief on Twitter for joining the enemy. New England, who cut Cole four times this year, apparently had kept his locker intact in case of a potential reunion down the road.

That's what I say to our Around The League writers each day: Get that check, baby. (Although their checks are smaller: Cole will make $42,000 this week in Denver.) Cole owes the Patriots nothing, and it's ridiculous to think he would miss a paycheck out of some misplaced loyalty. Teams aren't loyal; why should players be?
